Which of the following planetary traits is well established? choose one of the following: a) Mercury has a similar compositon to that of our moon, in that they both have a substantial metal content. b) Venus rotates more rapidly than Earth, but in the opposite direction. c) Earth's atmosphere exhibits a slightly stronger greenhouse effect than that seen on Venus. d)Astronomers have precisely calculated the mass of Mercury thanks to artificial satellites sent from Earth.
Which of these planetary surfaces is the youngest on average, and what evidence do you use to support this assertion? Mercury Venus Earth The Moon Mars

Eventually, space telescopes have shown that Venus is shrouded by a very dense atmosphere (see Figure 6). To pierce through the dense clouds and study its surface, astronomers had to use radio imaging (see Figure 7). Venus’ atmosphere is transparent to radio waves. Research and explain briefly how, through radio imaging, Venus’ surface could be reconstructed.
3. Several years ago, NASA conducted the Lunar CRater Observation and Sensing Satellite (LCROSS) mission to look for evidence of water deep in craters near the south pole of the Moon (www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/LCROSS/main/index.html). Preliminary analysis of the LCROSS data has already demonstrated that there are indeed signifcant quantities of water on the Moon-a useful thing to know if we ever decide to build a permanent base on the Moon. The LCROSS spacecraft was launched from Earth aboard at Atlas V rocket on 18 June 2009. It was then sent on its way to the Moon by a Centaur transfer stage rocket. On 9 October 2009, while being observed by the LCROSS spacecraft, the Centaur rocket crashed into a crater at the south pole of the Moon creating a huge plume of Lunar dust. Instruments on the LCROSS spacecraft measured the spectroscopic properties of this dust and radioed this data back to Earth for analysis. Then, 4 minutes after the Centaur rocket impacted the Moon, the LCROSS…
